MAYFAIR — We have no choice but to adapt to the cold temperatures which feel like down in the January deep freeze. On the bright side, this week it’s warming up so many people will be out and about doing their Christmas shopping. This is when we have to have a lot of patience waiting in line at the store check-outs.
Things are usually pretty quiet in our small hamlet Mayfair but the Christmas Market re-scheduled for this past Sunday saw many people coming through the hall doors. Santa brought small gifts for the young excited children which makes this event extra special. Thank you to all the hard-working volunteers for having another successful Christmas-related outing for others to visit/shop and enjoy the atmosphere.
Lots of events are coming up in the nearby village of Maymont. The Maymont Seniors Club is hosting a potluck and social this Saturday, Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the seniors hall on Main Street. The next seniors meeting is on Monday, Dec 9th at 2:00 p.m. Contact Bill Sherlock 306- 2017 Terry Skopyk 306 389-2171 or Debbie Pattinson 306 480-9036 for $20.00 memberships which gives a person many benefits for belonging to the club.

Many working moms do not find the time to do any extra baking this time of the year so they appreciate the home-baked goodies to have on hand for extra holiday company.

Rabbit Lake Library volunteers regularly go to the seniors' home (Rose Gill Lodge) in Rabbit Lake to assist the residents in making crafts. This time of the year the projects are Christmas-related.
Maymont School is having their Christmas concert next Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. I’m looking forward to attending as I have two grandchildren of age able to be involved. Many schools opt out of having this annual event as there are many immigrant students etc. that don’t celebrate the birth of Christ. When our country was established hundreds of years ago Christianity. Christianity was a ‘building block’ for a strong nation to keep Canadian citizens together.
